TAMMY SYTCH TO BE SENTENCED TODAY

 WWE Hall of Famer Tamara "Sunny" Sytch is scheduled to be sentenced for multiple DUI arrests last year on today at 1:15 PM at Carbon County Court in Pennsylvania. 

Sytch was slated to be sentenced several months ago, but that was postponed several months as she underwent treatment for her personal issues.  Sytch is now out of rehab and has stated she is now over 90 days sober.  WWE assisted in paying for several months of her rehab, a reversal from 2013, where they publicly announced several years back they were cutting her off from assistance after she publicly criticized the treatment centers the company had previously sent her to when she requested help during a DVD interview with KayfabeCommentaries.com.

On 5/30/15, Sytch was stopped by Mahoning Township, PA police after being seen driving erratically into a Wal-Mart parking lot. A test showed a 0.25 percent Blood-Alcohol level.

On 6/1/15, Sytch was pulled over after her car crossed the solid center yellow line several times and then entered oncoming traffic on Interchange Road in Lehighton, PA.  Sytch was unable to provide proof of insurance or a drivers license and was identified via authorities checking records.  When he stopped her at 10510 Interchange Road, Lazarchick said she was unable to provide a driver’s license and proof of insurance. He identified her through a records check.  Trooper Jonathan Lazarchick of the Pennsylvania State Police reported that her eyes were bloodshot and glassy and that she smelled like alcohol.  There was an open bottle of Coors Light in the passenger side of the vehicle and another 11 unopened.  The open cap was on the floor of her passenger's side.  Sytch claimed she had been drinking the night before, was driving to pick up milk and eggs and when asked to get out of the vehicle, staggered, had problems with her balance and needed to lean on her car to maintain her balance.    Her blood-alcohol content was 0.3 percent.

On 6/20/15, Sytch crashed her car into a ditch in Towamensing Township at 10:40 p.m. and claimed to authorities responding that her GPS had told her to made a "sudden turn", leading to her turning too wide and ending up in the ditch.  Sytch told authorities that she was unable to back the car back out.   Cpl. Shawn Noonan of the Pennsylvania State Police observed the odor of alcohol and bloodshot eyes.  He requested Sytch take a field sobriety test but she claimed to be "in too much pain due to her recently blacking out and falling down the steps."  She was taken under arrest for DUI and was given a breathalyzer test back at police barracks.   The results of that test were 0.078 percent.  Sytch would later claim on social media, in response to PWInsider.com reporting of the case, she was not arrested for DUI when she crashed her car because she had a "seizure."

Sytch plead guilty to DUI in all three cases as well as one count of driving without a license.  The court has dismissed the other lesser charges in each case as part of her guilty plea.

The Judge presiding over the case has previously stated there would be mandatory prison terms on two of the counts against her.  If she is approved for PA's Intermediate Prisoner Program, she would also be subject to house arrest following her prison term. 

Sytch, who has released an autobiography and an adult film over the course of the last year, told TMZ several weeks ago she is open to doing additional work with Vivid Video, which released her first adult film.  She has started to announce bookings for independent dates and conventions over the last week.
